AUTHOR'S NOTE. 

The following genealogical record of the Pepperrell 
Family in America does not aim to be exhaustive or com- 
plete, although in many lines it has been brought to the 
present generation. This has been made possible by the 
activity and interest of descendants in various collateral 
branches. In fact, the volume is more complete than at 
first it was expected. At some future time possibly it 
may form the nucleus for a larger and more extended 
record, in which may be chronicled the achievements and 
data of each generation. 

Thanks for liberal and thoughtful assistance are due to 
Richard J. Evans, Prof. I. F. Frisbee, Clarence Bishop 
Smith, Hiram A. Gerrish, General Nelson A. Miles, the 
late Eliot Leighton, Esq., Woodward Emery, the Misses 
Kennard, and Frances Leighton Gregg.

THE PEPPERRELLS IN AMERICA. 



BY CECIL HAMPDEN CUTTS HOWARD. 



William Pepperrell, the founder of the family of that 
name in America, came from England in 1676, when 
Charles I, was reigning king, to the beautiful shores of 
what is now known as New England, and became familiar 
with the Isle of Shoals and the coast of Maine. 

He was born in 1646, in Tavistock, a town of Devonshire 
in England, which is finely situated in the valley of the 
Tavy. He came of an ancient lineage and gave early 
evidence of marked abilities which were afterward to 
make him one of the most conspicuous men of his day in 
the Provinces and honored by all who knew him. 

Frequent business trips, from the old world to the new, 
made him acquainted with the superior advantages in 
locating among these new surroundings, from a business 
point of view, and he early took advantage of them. It 
was necessary that he should rebuild his fortune and it was 
evident that the new world offered attractions which were 
not possessed by any point in the mother country. He 
came on certain fishing expeditions which were sent out 
then to the Banks of Newfoundland, and while employed 
in these he decided to abandon the sea, and with a Mr. 
Gibbons went into the business of curing fish at the Isles 
of Shoals. After a few years they dissolved partnership 
and we next find him at Kittery Point in the Province of 
Maine. 

Here, in 1660, Mr. John Bray and his family had settled, 
coming from Plymouth in England " in the early and 
uncertain days of the Restoration." His family was one 
that could be traced back for many generations, and he

held valuable estates in the old world, while adding to 
his possessions in the new. Of Mr. Bray's several children, 
his fair daughter Margery attracted the attention of 
William Pepperrell and he was an earnest suitor for her 
hand. Her father seemed opposed to the union at first, 
chiefly, it is supposed, on account of young Pepperrell's 
not being well established in business ; but, that obstacle 
being removed by a series of fortunate ventures, the 
father's consent was finally secured. They were married 
in 1680 in the parlor of the old Bray homestead, in Kittery, 
which is standing today unchanged, after a lapse of over 
240 years since its erection, a splendid monument to the 
builder. 

Close at hand, Mr. Bray granted his daughter and son- 
in-law a lot on which to build them a home, and his son- 
in-law was taken into partnership with him. They were 
the foremost shipwrights and merchants of the day ; their 
wharves and warehouses were known in the old world 
as well as the new 7 and led in business in all the colonies. 

More than a hundred vessels annually visited the Grand 
Banks, others on trading expeditions to the southern 
ports of the colonies and the West Indies as well as to 
European markets. 

It has been said of Mrs. Margery (Bray) Pepperrell, 
" She exemplified at once the Greek and Christian ideal 
of beauty and her high spiritual intuition became to her 
husband's vigorous qualities a sixth sense which enthused 
ever his efforts with the highest purpose."* From a single 
look at her portrait, still preserved by her descendants, 
this is evidently not too much to say of her, and will be 
endorsed by all who have made a study of her character. 

Her husband was trained to the use of firearms 
and military exercises, and his services were required 
for some time at the fort on Great Island or New Castle. 

There was, however, a garrison house erected and 
maintained at " the Point " near their house to which 
families might go when threatened by attacks from the 
Indians. As early as 1700 a fort was erected which 
went by Pepperrell's name. William Pepperrell had

command which gave him the rank of Captain. He also 
commanded the company of militia there and finally rose 
to the rank of lieutenant colonel. 

Mr. Pepperrell held the office of Justice of the Peace 
from 1690 to 1725. In 1715 he was appointed Judge of 
the Court of Common Pleas and continued on the bench 
many years. 

Mr. and Mrs. Pepperrell had two sons and six 
daughters, who were born in Kitteiy Point, and all of 
whom arrived at maturity and married. 

The children were educated in an excellent manner for 
that period, which included a faithful religious training. 
Their parents did all they could toward perpetuating 
public worship in Kittery, Colonel Pepperrell being one 
of the main pillars of the church, which was organized 
November 4, 1714. The parents and children were at 
various times admitted as communicants and Rev. John 
New y march was sole pastor until 1751, and died in 1754. 

The elder Pepperrell admitted his eldest son, Andrew, 
to partnership with him, under the firm name of William 
Pepperrell and Son, but, as the young man died when he 
was thirty-two years of age, the partnership was not of 
long duration, and on his death it was changed to "William 
Pepperrells,"and Colonel PepperelPs second son, William 
Junior, admitted to partnership. This partnership was 
unbroken for a quarter of a century ; they dealt in lumber, 
naval stores, fish and provisions. For some years they 
were the largest merchants in New England. Cargoes 
were sent to the West Indies, Portugal, the Mediterranean 
and England. Their money received was expended in 
real estate which rapidly rose in value. They could ride 
from Kittery to Portland, Maine, on their own estates, 
owning among other valuable properties the greater part 
of the towns of Kittery, Saco and Scarboro, Maine. 

The elder Pepperrell passed away, January 15, 1734, 
having long since passed his eightieth year. Every 
attention was paid by his son that filial love could dictate 
at the time of the funeral. It was he who ordered the 
marble structure that still stands over the tomb where 
his father and others of the family were buried. The 
cost was £34 lis. 4d., and it was imported from London.* 

* Parsons' Life of Sir William Pepperrell, page 30. 



4 THE PEPPEKRELLS IN AMERICA. 

The tomb and lot are still owned by his descendants who 
have recently organized as the Pepperrell Family 
Association and meet annually at Kittery in the summer 
time. The valuable estates have long since entirely passed 
out of the family, and summer hotels now reign where 
once the hospitality of the Pepperrells was so liberally 
dispensed. 

In the will of the elder Pepperrell his bequests were 
many, but not large, the, bulk of his property descending 
to his only living son, William, Junior. His daughters, 
beside their marriage portions and other advancements, 
had five hundred pounds current money and half of his 
household furniture after his wife's decease. Each grand- 
child was remembered Avith from twenty to fifty pounds 
and there were liberal bequests to the parish church and 
distant relatives. 

Madam Margery Pepperrell survived her husband for 
seven years, dying in April, 1741, aged eighty-one years, 
and was interred in the family tomb. An extract from 
a notice of her death in the " Boston Post Boy " reads as 
follows : 

" She was, through the whole course of her life, very 
exemplary for unaffected piety and amiable virtues, 
especially her charity, her courteous affability, her 
prudence, meekness, patience, and her unweariedness in 
well doing. As it pleased God to afford her worldly 
advantages, and a large capacity for doing good, so she 
improved them to the honor of God and the service of 
her generation ; being charitable without ostentation, and 
making it her constant rule to do good to all as she had 
opportunity. She was not only a loving and discreet 
wife, and tender parent, but a sincere friend to all her 
acquaintance. She hath left behind her one son and five 
daughters and many grandchildren, 'who rise up and call 
her blessed.' She was justly esteemed while living and in 
death as much regretted. As she lived a life of faith and 
constant obedience to the gospel, so she died with great 
inward peace and comfort and the most cheerful resignation 
to the will of God." 

Surely no one could desire a more touching or beautiful 
eulogy, so free from all attempt at flattery. 

In her will the bequests are entirely to her children and

grandchildren, with the exception of her sister, Mary 
Deering.

1 Andrew Pepperrell, the eldest son, married in 
1707, Miss Jane Elliott, daughter of Robert and Sarah 
(Fryer) Elliott, and resided, after his marriage, at New 
Castle nearly opposite his father's residence. He was 
for many years a clerk in his father's store, also a super- 
cargo, and, at times commanded vessels and was agent 
for mercantile houses in Europe. He was but twenty-six 
when he married and dying in 1713, at thirty-two, had 
accomplished much in business for a young man, rising 
from clerk to partner with his father and filling various 
positions with credit. His father-in-law was one of the 
prominent citizens of that province for whom the town of 
Eliot was named, and held many important town and 
provincial offices in his day.

25, 1714, married Charles Frost, son of Major Charles 
and Mary (Bolles) Frost. She bore him several children 
most of whom died young and her death occurred in 1749.

2 Mary Pepperrell married Hon. John Frost, 
second son of Major Charles and Mary (Bolles) Frost, of 
New Castle, N. H., Sept. 4, 1702, and was the mother of 
seventeen children. Her husband was a conspicuous 
figure of the period. He commanded an English ship-of- 
war at one time, held various prominent political positions 
and, at the time of his death, February 25, 1732, was a 
member of the Governor's Council. 

Mrs. Mary (Pepperrell) Frost outlived her husband 
thirty years, and was twice married after his death ; 
first, to Rev. Benjamin Colman, D.D., of Boston, Aug. 
12, 1745, and second, on Oct. 6, 1748, to Rev. Benjamin 
Prescott, of Dan vers, Mass., where she died April 18, 
1766, aged 81 years.

3 Margery Pepperrell married Captain Pelatiah 
Whittemore, Nov. 14, 1706. Captain Whittemore was 
lost at sea, after they had been married ten or a dozen 
years, and his widow married July 4, 1730, Judge Elihu 
Gunnison. It is thought from an examination of various 
records that only one of her four children lived to marry ; 
her daughter Mary, who became Mrs. March, and is

mentioned in the will of her grandfather Colonel William 
Pepperrell, with her brothers, in 1733, but are not 
mentioned in the grandmother's will six years later. Mrs. 
Margery (Pepperrell) Gunnison is named in her mother's 
will in 1739, but not in that of her brother (Sir William) 
twenty years later. This is the nearest we can determine 
the time of her death from all available records.

6 William Pepperrell married Mary Hirst, 
daughter of Grove and Elizabeth (Sewall) Hirst of 
Boston, March 16, 1723. 

William Pepperrell, Jr., brought his bride to the house 
of his parents in Kittery, Maine, and added considerably 
to it in size, so that it formed for that day one of the 
most palatial mansions of that part of the new world. 
The grounds adjoining it ran down to the water's edge. 
It was not so hedged about as we see it today, with 
unattractive surroundings, although the same wondrously 
beautiful view presents itself, and there are ships to be 
seen daily, as then, in the harbor. The business of young 
Pepperrell called him frequently to Boston, and among 
those he met there were the families of Sewall aud Hirst. 
There he met his future wife, who was a granddaughter 
of the famous Chief Justice Samuel Sewall of that city. 
The Judge's daughter Elizabeth had married Grove Hirst, 
a son of William and Mary (Grove) Hirst of Salem, 
Mass., an eminent merchant of that day. Pepperrell 
met Miss Hirst afterward in York, at Parson Moody's 
house, where she visited, and he was as successful in love 
as in business. By this marriage William Pepperrell, Jr., 
became allied to the most prominent families in New 
England, which gave him as much interest in other of 
the colonies as in that in which he lived, and where he 
did such wonderfully good business. Before the death of 
his father in 1734, which occurred eleven years after his 
marriage, he had been appointed to the board of Council- 
lors in 1727, and chosen representative from Kittery, 
which then included Eliot. He served thirty-two suc- 
cessive years as Councillor and, in that time, for eighteen 
years was President of the board. In 1730 he was 
appointed Chief Justice by Governor Belcher. This office 
he held until his death, in 1759. He qualified himself 
for this by the purchase of an extensive law library. 
Beside the management of a large estate, which after his 
father's death devolved entirely upon him, and the offices 
we have mentioned, he was Colonel of the Yorkshire 
regiment and made every effort to have a better organiza- 
tion, equipment and discipline of the militia under his 
command.

THE PEPPERRELLS IN AMERICA. 9 

Of the four children of Colonel and Mrs. Pepperrell, 
only Elizabeth and Andrew, the first two, survived 
infancy. They received the very best education obtainable 
at that day. Their mother was well qualified to direct 
their instruction as she had been taught as had been but 
few of the children of her day. The children both attended 
school in Boston, where Andrew fitted for Harvard 
College, entering in 1741. During this period their 
parents spent much of* their time in Boston, where they 
could supervise their children's education, and Col. 
Pepperrell as well could attend to mercantile affairs and 
General Court. 

After the education of the children was completed, 
they returned to Kittery for a permanent home. Colonel 
Pepperrell, on his son's graduation, in 1743, admitted 
him to partnership with himself, and notified mercantile 
houses accordingly. He was doomed to disappointment 
in his plans for his son's future career, however, for he 
died March, 1751, after a brief illness. During young 
Andrew's life of twenty-six years he had formed a large 
circle of friends, and proven himself an apt scholar and 
a successful man of business. A miniature of him when 
a child, and a portrait in his young manhood, are still 
preserved, and show a most attractive personality.* His 
parents bowed submissively to this stroke and realized 
that they had but one child, their daughter Elizabeth, on 
whom to centre their affections and that the name of 
Pepperrell died out with this most promising young man. 

In 1742, Elizabeth Pepperrell married Hon. Nathaniel 
Sparhawk of Boston, a well known merchant in that city. 

This was nine years before the death of her brother 
Andrew Pepperrell and three, before the event in her 
father's life which made him historically famous. 

France declared war, March 15, 1744, and England two 
weeks after. Through that year it was a general subject 
for conversation that Louisburg must be captured from 
the French ; that alone would mean safety to trade and 
navigation. It was thought that four thousand men, with 
such a fleet as could be raised by the Provinces, would be 
able to compel a surrender of the place.

Finally it was agreed to make the effort ; Massachusetts, 
Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Connecticut contributed 
armed vessels, and Edward Tyngwho commanded a small 
frigate of twenty-four guns was made Commodore. The 
whole number of armed vessels was fourteen ; the armed 
vessels and transports one hundred. In troops Massachu- 
setts contributed three thousand two hundred and hfty ; 
Rhode Island, three hundred, and Connecticut five 
hundred. Governor Shirley appointed, as Commander 
of the expedition, Colonel William Pepperrell, who, after 
some hesitation, was prevailed upon to accept. He 
advanced five thousand pounds to the Province from his 
own fortune and used all his influence to make the 
expedition successful. This command gave Colonel 
Pepperrell the title of Lieutenant-General Pepperrell. 

The first troops sailed, March 24, 1745, and their work 
was so well done that news of the conquest was received 
in July. The victory was celebrated in Boston, New 
York and Philadelphia. 

General Pepperrell was created a Baronet of Great 
Britain, the first time the patent was ever conferred on a 
native of America. 

Sir William Pepperrell, as he was from thenceforward 
known, remained at Louisburg until late in the spring of 
1746, arriving in Boston about the first of June. From 
there until he reached his home in Kittery he was the 
recipient of much attention and distinguished honors. 
On July 4, he was tendered a public dinner at the 
Town House in Salem. In September, 1749, he 
embarked for London where he was presented at Court 
and King George II. gave him a cordial reception. 
The Lord Mayor of London caused a service of plate to 
be prepared and presented to him as a token of respect. 
He arrived at his home in Kittery in October, 1750, less 
than a year before the death of his son Andrew. From 
this time forth he was engaged in looking after his 
personal interests, and attending Court. 

In 1755, he was commissioned Major-General, by the 
King; in 1756 he was appointed by the Council, Com- 
mander of Castle William in Boston Harbor, and of the 
whole military forces of Massachusetts, with the rank ov* 
Lieutenant-General. 



THE PEPPERRELLS IN AMERICA. 11 

General Sir William Pepperrell died at his home, in 
Kittery, Maine, July 6, 1759, just seventeen years before 
the Revolution. He was not so old as his father, by many 
years, at his decease, but he had seen much hard service 
in his later years, and had been active and efficient beyond 
most public men of his day. 

His biographer, Dr. Usher Parsons,* says 

"His funeral obsequies were attended by a vast 
concourse. The drooping flags at half-mast on both 
shores of the Pascataqua, the solemn knell from neighbor- 
ing churches, the responsive minute guns from all the 
batteries, and the mournful rumbling of muffled drums, 
announced that a great man had fallen and was descending 
to the tomb." 

Rev. Dr. Stevens preached the funeral discourse on the 
following Sabbath, which Lady Pepperrell caused to be 
published and distributed to each member of the House 
and Council. It has been said of him, "The word tact 
conveys a comprehensive idea of the nature of his power, 
a quick perception with sound common sense, derived not 
from books, but from the study of man." 

The Gentleman's Magazine of London, for September, 
1759, contains the following notice of his decease : 

"Lieut. Gen. Sir W m Pepperel, Bart; Col. of the 52 d 
reg. of foot, at Boston in New England, aged 63. He 
was the youngest son of W m Pepperel Esq. ; of the west 
of England. He was bred and principally employed in 
mercantile affairs, till 1745, when at the earnest desire of 
the Governor and council of that and the other provinces 
he undertook the chief command of the forces against 
Louisbourg which he reduced after a siege of 49 days, for 
which service he was created a baronet of Great Britain." 

In his will he remembered his relatives, far and wide, 
and the church and poor, but the bulk of his estate 
descended to his grandchildren ; his grandson William 
Pepperrell Sparhawk to inherit the title of Baronet on 
becoming known as Sir William Pepperrell. 

The life of this eminent and worthy man has been fully 
delineated by Dr. Usher Parsons and to that work and

30 Mary Whittemore married Rev. Edmund 
March of Newburyport, Mass. We have only one child 
recorded, though there may have been more : 

115. Susan, b. 1760; ra., 1776, Com. John Evans. 

31 Joel Whittemore was " a lieutenant on half pay 
living at Kittery Point."* The only record that can be 
found so far of his marriage, is that in his uncle's will 
where his children are named, but no descendants are 
known today in the male line from this branch of the family. 
It is probable that he died before his uncle, Sir William, 
as he is not mentioned in the latter's will, in 1759, and 
apparently all of Sir William's living nephews and nieces 
and other kinsfolk are recorded in that document. 

32 Margery Jackson married John Gerrish, Nov. 
21, 1734. He was a son of Col. Timothy and Sarah 
(Elliott) Gerrish, and born Feb. 6, 1710-11, in Dover, 
N. H., and died in 1749. Through his mother he was a 
descendant of Robert Elliott, one of the distinguished 
colonial pioneers.

34 Elizabeth Jackson married Hale. In the 

will of Sir William Pepperrell he mentions the children 
of his kinswoman Eliza Hale, but, we have found no 
record of their names or descendants. 

36 Dorothy Jackson married Deny Pitman. In 
the will of her uncle, Sir William, Mrs. Pitman is named 
but it is evident that her husband was not then living, and 
perhaps no children.* 

40 William Tyler died unmarried . He is not 
mentioned in the will of his uncle, Sir William, but in 
Parsons' Life of Sir William Pepperrell there is given 
an excellent letter from him to his cousin Andrew 
Pepperrell, in a humorous vein which shows that he was 
living in Boston nine years before his uncle's death. 

41 Andrew Tyler married Mary Richards. He 
inherited the library of his father at the latter' s decease, 
and was pastor in Dedham, Mass., 1743 (having graduated 
in 1738, from Harvard), preached for thirty years and was 
finally dismissed for being too zealous in the Royal cause. 
He died in Boston in 1775. 

The New England Historic Genealogical Society of 
Boston are in possession of excellent portraits in oil of 
himself and wife. 

Of their nine sons several remained in the vicinity of 
Boston, and others removed to Deer Island, Maine, where 
they became early and conspicuous settlers. f 

This line of descendants of Andrew Tyler, sen., was 
the only one to leave male issue, and though not now 
a numerous branch it is considerably in excess of any of 
the lines founded by Capt. Thos. Tyler, the immigrant. 

A coat of arms was granted to them in 1774, and is one 
of the few really indisputable American coats. Tyler 
street in Boston was named for this family and 
representatives of the family are buried in King's Chapel 
churchyard and the Granary burying-ground.

42 Miriam Tyler married Col. William Williams, 
son of Rev. William Williams of Deerfield, Mass., a 
Harvard graduate. He served as assistant Secretary at

44 Katharine Tyler married Captain David 
Ochtolony, son of the Laird of Pitforthy, Alexander 
Ochtolony of Montrose, Scotland, who died in the Island 
of St. Vincent, 1765. 

There is an ancient dwelling house called the "Ochtolony 
Adau house," situated on North Street, Boston. It was 
erected early in the 17th century, and is evidently the 
estate mentioned in 1766 in the inventory of the estate 
of Miriam, widow of Andrew Tyler : — 

" The Mansion House and lands with outhouses and 
appurt'ces, £920." 

The Tylers resided here fort} r years, when it passed to 
Capt. David Ochtolony, the husband of Katharine Tyler.' 4 
The Captain died here. 

His widow married Sir Isaac Heard, and moved to 
London. Portraits of them may be seen in the rooms of

the New England Hist. Gen. Society, also of her 
distinguished son Sir David Ochtolony. 

Sir Isaac Heard was Narroy King of Arms, and 
Gentleman of the Red Rod to the Order of the Bath. He 
died in 1822, aged 92, leaving no children, and was buried 
in Windsor Chapel. 

There is a tradition connected with the ancient Boston 
residence to the effect that when Paul Revere was starting 
for his midnight ride an emergency arising for mufflers 
for his oars, upon calling for some substitute at this house 
he was handed out a " yet warm " petticoat, which 
effectively silenced (for the time being) his daring aquatic 
exploit.

48 Elizabeth Pepperrell married Nathaniel 
Sparhawk, May 1, 1742, an eminent merchant of Boston, 
son of Rev. John and Priscilla (Hemans) Sparhawk, 
whose father was a prominent clergyman of Bristol, R. I. 
Her father provided for them the elegant and commodious 
mansion not very far from his own dwelling, now standing, 
and known as the "Sparhawk mansion," the materials for 
which, as well as the costly furnishings, were largely 
brought from England. It is by far the most elegant 
specimen of colonial architecture standing today, and 
has been for years the admiration of architects and all 
who have seen it. 



THE PEPPERRELLS IN AMERICA. 21 

Of Elizabeth Pepperrell it is said by Dr. Parsons in 
his life of her father, "Few if any of the belles of her 
day possessed equal attractions. An heiress of rare 
accomplishments and winning manners, high-bred 
connections, and the only daughter of a distinguished 
merchant, high in official station, military, political and 
judicial, and withal a lady of sound religious principles 
abounding in Christian graces she was truly f a gem of the 
first water.' " Her father sent to England for her wedding 
outfit, which is well described in the following letter 
which is still preserved. 

" Pascataqua in New England, 
October 14th, 1741. 
Francis Wilks, Esq. : Sir — Your favors of ye 16 th May and 24 th 
June last, I received by Capt. Prince, for which am much obliged to 
you. Inclosed you have a receipt for 26 ps of gold, weighing 20 ozs, 
which will be delivered you, I hope, by Capt. Robert Noble, of ye ship 
America, which please to receive and cr. to my account with ; and 
send me by ye first opportunity, for this place or Boston, Silk to make 
a woman a full suit of clothes, the ground to be white paduroy and 
flowered with all sorts of coulers suitable for a young woman — 
another of white watered Taby, and Gold Lace for trimming of it; 
twelve yards of Green Paduroy ; thirteen yards of Lace, for a 
woman's Head dress, 2 inches wide as can be bought for 13s. per 
yard ; a handsome Fan with a leather mounting, as good as can be 
bought for about 20 shillings ; 2 pr. silk shoes, and cloggs a size 
bigger than ye shoe. 

Your servant to command, 

William Pepperrell."* 

The descendants of herself and husband today are 
divided into two branches, of about equal numbers, first 
the descendants of their third son William Pepperrell 
Sparhawk, who was the inheritor of the title and the most 
valued possessions of his distinguished grandfather and 
who left for England in Revolutionary times and, second, 
the descendants of their second son Nathaniel Sparhawk, 
who remained in America. 

Col. Nathaniel Sparhawk and his wife were both laid 
in the family tomb at Kittery. The best portrait of him 
is now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, one of Copley's

masterpieces. Owing to Revolutionary disturbances their 
valuable possessions are now widely scattered and only a 
small portion are now owned by descendants. Many have 
been destroyed accidentally by tire, yet enough remains to 
show the character and eminent ability and the almost 
royal style in which they lived.
